Hi everyone. I'm considering purchasing a mountain bike and am wondering about two different ones for my style, which is basic cross country e.g. local trail riding, fire roads and some street. Nothing too outrageous.
The first is a used 2020 Ibis Mojo 3 with these specifics: 2020 Ibis Mojo 3 XL frame with Fox Float Factory rear shock and Fox 24 Factory forks with Fit4 dampers. Wheelset: Ibis S35 alloy rims with Ibis hubs Brakes: Shimano Deore 4 piston with 180 mm rotors Drivetrain: Shimano Deore cranks, Derailleur, 11 speed Deore cassette and shifter Stem: Raceface Bars:One Up Carbon Grips: ODI Headset: Cane Creek Tires: Maxxis Agressor (Rear) and Minion DHF
The other is a brand new 2021 Giant Trance Advanced with these specifics: Fox 36 Float Rythm Fork, Fox Float DPS rear shock and SLX components.
Which bike do you think is the better one for yourself or for me? I'm a bit older and heavier rider, kind of built like a d lineman, and still enjoy riding mountain bikes. Had a Cannondale Super V 700 and Ibis Mojo in the past. Here are pics of both bikes. Thanks for any help you can provide.
